Hover Box for Zip files

[Borut]

text dectohex(attrstamp()) ;

2020

Seems to be the same for every file type.

[Borut]

Here it seems like zip file would be regarded as a text file (but obviously not so in fresh, hm).

Also, I was now playing with checking and unchecking the file types for HB and out of a blue sky am getting HB on the wrong monitor - the subject of another thread. Here for what it is worth, the output of ::screen; at my place:

Virtual Screen:

Works for me on Windows 10 1809 with my configuration, XYplorer 19.30.0006.

1) I add more debug code.

2) I try another fix.

[Borut]

Hi Don!

I have just played a bit more (this time on a Win7, 32bit, XY .0006) and to my surprise, this time, when I uncheck Text files as previewed format, the HB shows the zip file content as expected.

I don't think that that was the case in the night (and am pretty sure I have checked that combination, but, well, who knows), maybe Ghosts...

[admin]

So you have *.zip added to the "Text files" category?

[admin]

Are there still any problems with Hover Box for Zip files anywhere?

[admin]

Ok, I take it that all bugs here are fixed. I will remove all the debug logging then.

Hi Don

Sorry for being a bit late with my testing but Zip file contents still don't show up for me in hover box.
Attrstamp returns 20 on the below zip's.
With Text and Office ticked I get the preview of Readme.txt in the hover box instead of the content, w/o these two I see the properties of the zip on hover.

So you have *.zip added to the "Text files" category?

Hi Don,

sorry, needed prolonged sleeping time.

Damn it, you ware right! I removed it now from the "Text files" category and it works for me now (although still being checked inside Web files, which I currently have active). Here what I see in the log now (this time just as an additional information):

So, my conclusion would be that when zip file is selected for HB, this should probably better take precedence over zip file selections in previewed formats. (But maybe I am not having the big picture.)

Thanks for all your efforts.

I see it like this: Hover Box is one of the many previews in XY. The Previewed Formats section gives you the ultimate control over all previews, here you decide which file type you want to view how. Hence, if you want to look at ZIPs as text, Hover Box will obey.

But, sure, this is only one way to view it.

With Text and Office ticked I get the preview of Readme.txt in the hover box instead of the content, w/o these two I see the properties of the zip on hover.

Your debug log tells me that you have added ZIP to the "Office Files" category. If you remove it from there the issue should be resolved.

[highend]

Don, wouldn't it be a good idea to spit out some warning if somebody tries to add an extension to a category that already exists in a different one (or alternatively a button to check for such a "problem")? Seems this happens very often...

You're right, but how did I end up with zip added there? Plus it's also present in Web files.

Not sure. In some contexts (though not in Hover Box) the methods are tried from top to bottom (first User-Defined, then Text Files to Video Files) until something works. So it might make sense to have one extension in different categories.
